I love Kimberly Williams, now known as Kimberly Williams-Pasley following her marriage to country star Brad Paisley. And she will have a guest starring role on Boston Legal this season. No word yet on who she will be playing or what the storyline will be. But it follows closely on the announcement that hysterical guest star Betty White is also returning as well.

Boston Legal is shaping up for a hot new season, especially since they are taking on the tobacco industry in the season premiere episode for season 5.

Boston Legal premieres the 5th season on September 22 at 10pm.

Yep, Donald Trump is doing yet another Celebrity Apprentice, and this time it has hired Khloe Kardashian (that is Kim’s little sister). No word on exactly what her role will be, other than it is confirmed.

As for those facing off with The Donald in the board room, rumored celebs include Tony Danza (I think I would rather see him on Dancing with the Stars!), Dennis Rodman (OMG!), Petra Nemcova and both Joan and Melissa Rivers.

I know many people assumed that once Michaela McManus was cast on Law & Order: SVU that we had seen the last of her on One Tree Hill. But that isn’t so! And not only that, she will be back on One Tree Hill for more than one episode!

To those who track spoilers/on-set sightings and profess to know who Lucas wound up calling, Schwahn argues, “If Lucas were to pick Lindsey, who’s to say she’d pick him back? And if she does, who’s to say it works out? A lot of people have eliminated her as a candidate because they know a lot about show biz, but I’m like, ‘Hold on a second….’”

Does that mean OTH’s mighty love “rectangle” of Lucas, Brooke, Peyton and Linds is destined to continue on? “Not really, and not romantically,” says Schwahn. “As you get older and more complex, how you love someone and what they mean to your life, that changes. So I think that romantically, it’s probably done. But [those relationships] will always be a staple of the show. They’ll all be in each others lives in some major way.”

So what do you think? Happy she will be back or mad she’s coming back?

Not exactly a spoiler on what is happening on the show, but want to know what the latest clothes - and more importantly - what stores the clothes come from, we have the scoop from Degrassi’s clothing guy.

So what will young Degrassi stars such as Nina Dobrev and Lauren Collins be wearing this fall? Expect wide-legged jeans, Wright says, and — thanks to advance buzz on the sixth Harry Potter film — clothes that wouldn’t be out of place at an English boarding school.

“Blazers, plaid skirts and the off-uniform look is everywhere,” says Wright, who also credits Gossip Girl with stoking this season’s argyle trend. But while that show’s Upper East Side teens might sport Chanel, Wright says he can find the same thing for his girls at Le Chateau.

“It’s in keeping with our aesthetic,” he says, adding that colourful peasant shirts, big earrings and oversized leather satchels [instead of backpacks] will be wardrobe staples on Degrassi this season.

Unfortunately for Americans, most of the clothes are bought in Canada, but some of the pieces are available at the American counterparts, such as the Gap.

Horatio Caine’s team just got bigger with the addition of Megalyn Echikunwoke (how is that for a mouthful!) as medical examiner Dr. Tara Price. Megalyn was previously cast just as a recurring character, but she has just been named as a series regular.

Waiting for your dose of CSI Miami? Only a few weeks left to wait, as the show premieres it’s seventh season on September 22 at 10pm, on CBS.

If you were hoping for another guest appearance by Catherine Piper, played by Betty White, you are in luck. Betty is returning to the set as a guest star, although the number of episodes and the storyline haven’t been announced yet. But if you can remember Catherine’s previous adventures at Boston Legal, you know it will be funny and memorable!

Boston Legal is back on ABC on September 22nd at 10pm. It’s new time slot is Monday nights after Dancing with the Stars and Samantha Who?

American Idol is adding a brand new 4th judge to the judging table when American Idol premieres for its 8th season in January. Kara DioGuardi, a songwriter for the likes of Faith Hill and Kelly Clarkson, has signed on to join the reality show.

“For the past seven seasons, Paula has had to endure the experience of being the only woman at the judges’ table,” said Mike Darnell, president, alternative programming of Fox, in a statement.

“With Kara by her side, Paula has some backup and now there is going to be a lot more ‘girl power’ on the show,” Darnell said.

I am curious if it might heat up some of the sexual tension between Paula and Simon, or if Kara will try and make her move on being the one fans want to see Simon with.

“We are turning the heat up on ‘Idol’ this year and are thrilled to welcome Kara to the judges’ table,” said creator and executive producer Simon Fuller in a statement. “She is a smart, sassy lady, and one of America’s most successful songwriters. We know she will bring a new level of energy and excitement to the show.”

I don’t know if this change is a good thing, as I love the dynamic between Paula, Randy and Simon. However, I suspect she will get canned if the fans hate her or if the chemistry just isn’t there. Overall, I am not a fan of having a new judge… maybe for the audtions, but for the whole show as well? I am prepared to hate her!

In case you were really rooting for DeAnna Pappas to pick Jason Mesnick instead of her eventual chosen suitor, Jesse Csincsak, you are in luck. Jason will be the new bachelor on ABC’s The Bachelor!

I also think this will be appealing because Mesnick is a single dad - he has a three-year-old son Ty, so it will be interesting to see if that plays a role in the show at all. The new bachelorettes better like kids! But they may film the show in Seattle so they don’t disrupt Ty’s schedule too much.

Alas, the 13th season of the Bachelor won’t begin airing until January 2009. But if you want a shot at being one of the bachelorettes, you can apply to casting now!

And a word on DeAnna and Jesse, they have a wedding date currently set for May 9, 2009.

Here is the complete cast list for the season 7 Dancing with the Stars

Kim Kardashian, infamous (not famous!) reality TV star

Cloris Leachman, token “older dancer”, still known by many from Facts of Life

Maurice Greene, Olympic sprinter

Lance Bass, former N’ Sync star (no, he won’t be dancing with the male partner!)

Rocco DiSpirito, celebrity TV chef

Warren Sapp, NFL football star

Misty May-Treanor, Olympic beach volleyballer (she just won gold!)

Toni Braxton, R&B singer

Cody Linley, Jake Ryan on Hannah Montana (he’s the youngest ever at 18)

Ted McGinley, Happy Days, Hope & Faith actor

Brooke Burke, actress

Jeffrey Ross, celebrity roaster and comedian

Susan Lucci, “All My Children” soap star, famously nominated for Daytime Emmy about a zillion times without winning (which I think she eventually did a few years ago)

If you are a fan of Dancing with the Stars, just a few short hours before the announcement is being made live on Good Morning America.

So far, the rumored dancers are:
Lance Bass
Toni Braxton
Kim Kardashian
Warren Sapp

Also, GossipSauce reported the cast would also include:
Brooke Burke
Maurice Greene
Cody Linley
Susan Lucci
Misty May-Treanor
Ted McGinley
Mark McGrath
Cloris Leachman
Jeff Ross

However, Mark McGrath has apparently pulled out… wouldn’t you know he was the one I was looking forward to!

So what do you think, and will you be watching Good Morning America tomorrow morning for the announcement?

OK, not sure how he will be returning (another dream sequence?) but hottie Denny Duquette, played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, will be back at Seattle Grace. You may remember that crazy Izzie cut his LVAT wire to get him his heart, only to have it all backfire on her.

Rumor has it that Izzie is going to have a brain tumor and it is somehow related to this. And it is a guest role, so he wont be staying on permanently or for an extended time But hey, at least we get to see him, and hopefully as something better than that previous but cheesy Meredith death dream sequence that we last saw Denny in.

Have you been missing The O.C.? Well Benjamin McKenzie will be returning to the small screen this fall after being cast in the pilot of the new police drama LAPD. He will play a rookie cop in the series.

Already signed onto the series include Michael Cudlitz (he played Big Mike on Lost), as well as 24’s Regina King and Shark’s Kevin Alejandro.

These bloopers and gag reel is from the 5th season DVD, but you can enjoy it here already.

Get ready for the 6th season which premieres on September 1st.

Yes, if you are a Noah Wyle fan, you will be pleased to know that he is confirmed to return to ER for the final season. But don’t look for Dr. John Carter to show up until sometime close to the end of the season (I know, I know, we have to wait, and it sucks!)

And there is no word as of yet on how is return will come about or why John will be returning to the E.R., even if it is as a doctor or as simply a visitor. We will keep you posted! Be sure to subscribe to the RSS feed for the latest.

Christina Applegate has confirmed she is now cancer free after she underwent a double mastectomy following her diagnosis of breast cancer.

The 36-year-old, who says she is now cancer free, told ‘Good Morning America’ that she had a genetic risk of developing breast cancer.

Speaking about her feelings after surgery, she said: “Sometimes, you know, I cry. And sometimes I scream. And I get really angry. And I get really upset, you know, into wallowing in self-pity sometimes. And I think it’s all part of the healing.”

Applegate paid tribute to her mother, Nancy Priddy, who survived breast cancer.

We wish her the speediest recovery.

Angela Bassett fans will be happy when she joins the cast of ER for the show’s 15th - and final - season. However, she is not joining the cast with the eye of her character on a spin-off series (although, in true Hollywood style, I predict never say never!)

ER returns to the airwaves on September 25th on NBC.

Since A.J. cook is expecting a baby, she will only be around for about the first 8 or so episodes of the new Criminal Mind’s season. She will be replaced by a new female agent, who has not yet been cast (or at least, not announced yet!). There isn’t word if her departure will be permanent or not, though.

What do you think? Would you love to see her come back, or are you happy she’ll be leaving?

Not surprisingly, the producers of the revamped Beverly Hills 90210 thought Tori Spelling was only worth about half the $$ per episode as Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty. And the bitch-tastic Tori Spelling has pulled out because of it.

Hmm, let’s see, Tori Spelling has managed to have multiple reality shows surrounding her life (and her multiple husbands) while Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty have both put time in doing REAL acting. So why is it a shocker to dear little Tori?

No loss here!

One Tree Hill fans will either be cheering or jeering with this news, but Michaela McManus, who plays Lindsey on One Tree Hill, has signed onto Law & Order: SVU as their new assistant DA.

Well, I guess we now know one of the candidates Lucas didn’t invite to Vegas. Michaela McManus (aka One Tree Hill’s Lindsey) is joining the cast of NBC’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit as the new assistant district attorney, effective with this fall’s Season 10. McManus will play the ADA assigned to the Special Victims Unit, thus following in the footsteps of predecessors Diane Neal and Stephanie March.

So what does this mean for Lindsey? No word yet, but we’ll keep you posted!

Hope you didn’t have any money riding on tonight’s Celebrity Apprentice… or if you did, you picked Omarosa. Because her publicist leaked the news by sending out a press release saying Omarosa would be on the Today Show tomorrow (Friday). And yep, all ousted Celebrity Apprentice who get fired are featured on the next morning’s episode of the Today Show.

You know her contract had to have a clause in there about not leaking the details… wonder if she’ll pay for her screw up or if she’ll lay the blame on her publicist.
